If you're watching this video, you're probably familiar with what stocks are -- either through hearing about on the TV business news shows or investing them in through your retirement and brokerage accounts.
For the most part, these are shares in companies that are publicly traded.
But there's a whole other world of companies out there that are privately owned and don't trade on the financial exchanges.
This is the world of Private Equity, where the more deep-pocketed and professional investors operate -- often gaining access to value that the smaller retail investor never gets a shot at.
That may be changing. New regulatory flexibility and new business models are now promising to help more individual investors tap into Private Equity when appropriate.
So what exactly IS Private Equity? What are its advantages and risks?
To demystify this asset class for us and help us understand its opportunities, we're fortunate to have Bob Long, CEO of Stepstone Private Wealth, here on the program today.

At Wealthion, we show you how to protect and build your wealth by learning from the world’s top experts on finance and money. Each week we add new videos that provide you with access to the foremost specialists in investing, economics, the stock market, real estate and personal finance.
We offer exceptional interviews and explainer videos that dive deep into the trends driving today's markets, the economy, and your own net worth. We give you strategies for financial security, practical answers to questions like “how to grow my investments?”, and effective solutions for wealth building tailored to 'regular' investors just like you.
There’s no doubt that it's a very challenging time right now for the average investor. Above and beyond the recent economic impacts of COVID, the new era of record low interest rates, runaway US debt and US deficits, and trillions of dollars in monetary and fiscal stimulus stimulus has changed the rules of investing by dangerously distorting the Dow index, the S&P 500, and nearly all other asset prices. Can prices keep rising, or is there a painful reckoning ahead?
Let us help you prepare your portfolio just in case the future brings one or more of the following: inflation, deflation, a bull market, a bear market, a market correction, a stock market crash, a real estate bubble, a real estate crash, an economic boom, a recession, a depression, or another global financial crisis.
Put the wisdom from the money & markets experts we feature on Wealthion into action by scheduling a free consultation with Wealthion’s endorsed financial advisors, who will work with you to determine the right next steps for you to take in building your wealth.
